Building on the foundation of the ZM 11, the new Leica ZM 12 features a smaller and lighter 39mm case, symmetrical dual-dial design, new dial color options and an easy-change system for straps and bracelets.Learn more and pre-order:https://lsm.to/zm12

In Loving Memory of Constantine Manos (1934–2025

In Loving Memory of Constantine Manos (1934–2025), a brilliant photographer, dear friend, and an extraordinary soul. To those who knew him, he was not just a master of his craft but a warm, generous, and deeply kind person whose presence was as memorable as his photographs.

We had the privilege of showcasing his work in our gallery at Leica Store Miami. Costa’s art was a reflection of who he was: thoughtful, sharp, full of life, and profoundly connected to the world around him. His ability to see beyond the surface and capture the essence of a moment was unmatched.

But Costa was more than his work. He was a kind soul, a true gentleman with a twinkle in his eye and a love of good company. He made you feel at ease, sharing his stories, his humor, and his wisdom so effortlessly. To know Costa was to know generosity, both of spirit and talent.

The world has lost a remarkable artist and an even more remarkable human being. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched and the images he left behind, which continue to remind us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Rest well, dear Costa. Your friendship, your artistry, and your spirit will forever remain in our hearts. ⁃ David Farkas & The Leica Store MiamiRead more: https://lsm.to/costa
